Whereas the people of the United States offer support to all the victims and

            (4) encourages a productive and thoughtful dialogue on all

            (5) honors the selfless, dedicated service of the law 
        enforcement officials and emergency response personnel who 
        responded to the attack, preventing further loss of life and
